Phillip, Thank you! Nothing makes my day more than an enraptured reader! I'm following you now on Medium, and I was captivated by your quotations: “Time is an illusion.” ― Albert Einstein. "All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist." --Kurt Vonnegut.

One of the things I am beginning to appreciate as a traveller (with 65 years under his belt) is how thin a slice of reality is the present moment. The past is so richly present each and every moment -- in the architecture, in the vegetation, in the rocks.
